OOC: Yep! Backdated to March 6th. 
And poor, poor oblivious Ciara. >.>t
Ciara had been having the most wonderful dream. She and Augustus had just returned from a hunt, adrenaline rushing through their veins. The air was warm with spring, and their muzzles were matching in matted blood from the kill. It was the perfect day, made even more so by the knowledge that they were mates, and if they wished to return to a private den after awhile and try for puppies, they had full blessing from their Alphas. A pleased sigh left her lips, carrying through her dream into a physical sigh doubtlessly heard by the Alphess.
Ciara didn’t stir until Titania’s voice broke through her haze. It made her pleased when she woke up that she could still detect Augustus’ scent on her fur, even though the male was nowhere to be seen. She hadn’t heard the growling, not even the padding of the striking Alphess’ paws across the den floor. Now, though, she was torn from her perfect dream and awoke with a soft grumble. Earth-coloured eyes met luminescent ones, boring into her in a way that made her instantly regret the growl she’d let loose at being awoken. She’d been able to tell it was a female pack member before she’d really opened her eyes, and had assumed it was Insomnia looking to play again.
Titania was definitely not who she was expecting. In all her time in New Dawn, the calico Epsilon still hadn’t had the chance to really get to know Zalen’s mate. What could she possibly want with Ciara? Not realizing that she was more than likely about to get her ass kicked, Ciara stretched with another indignant huff and stood, shaking out her fur and sending her heat-smell all throughout the den. Her jaws opened in a wide yawn, ending with the tiniest of lazy whines before she smiled to the Alphess.
”What can I do for you, my Alphess?”she questioned, ears and tail lowering to their rightful position. Since she was no longer a subordinate, she needn’t collapse on the ground and cower as though the Alphess was going to kill her. She enjoyed this more relaxed and dignified submission, revelled in her first chance to really use it. ”Is something wrong?”
